A boy and his toys. Sometimes when I need a quick break, I'll give him an entire bin full of toys he doesn't usually play with to buy a few minutes peace. #11months#handful#fullofjoy#babyboy and his #toys

@gypsyon__ had a rant the other day about people calling her “a handful” and it reminded me of third grade. I learned about petitions when I was in third grade. I hated the way our old, rusty monkey bars on the playground made my hands turn orange, so I decided to make a petition for new equipment. I went around the school asking my classmates and teachers to sign my petition, then had my mom take me to next PTA meeting so I could present my case. My philanthropic third-grade self presented a damn good case to win those new monkey bars (AND a new swing set to match). The local newspaper heard about my petition and ran a story on the front page with a photograph of me in front of my classmates playing our new equipment. You could say I was a bit of a “handful” growing up. You could say I was a know-it-all. You could say I was a badass. You could say a lot of things, but that doesn’t change the fact that I have - and always will - live my life on MY terms. I will fight to make this world a better place, with whatever resources I’ve got, until my very last breath. If that makes me a “handful,” well, maybe you should grow some bigger... hands.
